ELECTRODES MILD STEEL & IRON POWDER
FERROCRAFT 21
ALL POSITIONAL
WELDING #
5
Ferrocraft 21 is a popular rutile type, medium iron powder electrode developed and
manufactured in Australia by CIGWELD. It offers many features including smooth
stable AC / DC running on low O.C.V. welding machines, excellent fillet shapes
in all welding positions (including vertical-down/up and overhead) and a higher
electrode efficiency of 110%. In addition, Ferrocraft 21 produces good radiographic
quality, a self releasing slag and improved “Grade 2” (min 47J av @ -20°C) impact
properties. Ferrocraft 21 is suitable for workshop or ‘on-site’ repair, maintenance and
fabrication welding jobs where the iron powder addition gives improved usability over
conventional E4112 rutile type electrodes. It is the ideal vertical-down fillet welding
electrode for thinner steel sections using “Touch Welding” techniques. It produces a
controllable fast freezing slag with outstanding slag lift and minimum undercut.

FERROCRAFT 22
Ferrocraft 22 is a rutile type high iron powder electrode for the higher productivity
fillet and butt welding of mild steel in all downhand ( flat and horizontal-vertical )
positions. Slag lift and “side wall” wash at weld toes are superb and welding speeds
are approximately double those of conventional electrodes of equal size and length.
Ferrocraft 22 is recommended for high production welding where large standing
fillet welds are required. It is the ideal electrode for heavy structural welding
applications such as tanks, frames, girders and beams, ship structures and rolling
stock and general fabrication in the workshop or on-site.
Features:
Rutile Type High Iron Powder Electrode
High Productivity Fillet and Butt Welding in All Downhand Positions
Self Releasing Slag
Recommended for high production welding where large standing fillet welds are
required
Ideal electrode for heavy structural welding – tanks, frames, girders, beams, ship
